and exciting nightlife, Malaga has still retained its own
personal Spanish character perfectly intact.
It isn't a 'tourist' city and the locals are friendly and
willing to speak Spanish with foreigners - in fact they are
delighted to see a native English speaker trying to learn their
language and you will often get helped along by friendly locals
who want to talk with you.
If you want to leanr Spanish in Malaga it's important to
talk to the locals in between lessons, whether you are learning
at one of the courses above, or from a home-study Spanish
course (see my Rocket
Spanish Review of a home-study Spanish course).
It's not hard to get into the trap of speaking English with
everybody, as you will often make friends with foreigners and
as you want to communicate you drop into English all the
time.
But be strong and soon you wil be able to express anything
you want in Spanish. The best way to get there is to learn
Spanish in Malaga on the street - actually speaking to the
locals as much as possible.
Situated in the heart of Andalucia in Southern Spain, Malaga
is a hot and exciting place to live. If you don't know the city
but are planning to visit and learn Spanish in Malaga, then be
prepared to have a fantastic time in the capital city of the
Costa Del Sol.
It's a city with everything: a fun nightlife, freidnly
locals, great shopping, a beautiful beach, a modern, growing
economy, and a culture and history that goes back 3,000
years.
The festivals of Malaga are legendary. The main on eif
Feria, which takes place in the middle of August. The Picasso
museum opened in 2003 is the best Picasso collection in the
world. It's a great idea to both live and learn Spanish in
Malaga.
